Adapter that converts the locking and unlocking method of a crescent lock to a thumb turn type

Abstract

To provide an adapter that converts the operation method for locking and unlocking a crescent lock into a thumb turn type by attaching it to the frame of a door that opens and closes by sliding. [Solution] The adapter has a base 1 attached to the frame of a sliding door fitted with a crescent lock, and by gripping the operating lever of the crescent lock with a hook 6 of the rotational force transmission unit 2, the crescent lock can be locked and unlocked when the thumb-turn unit 4 of the rotational force transmission unit 2 is rotated using the thumb-turn method. Also, by attaching a smart lock for thumb-turn to the thumb-turn unit 4 of the rotational force transmission unit 2, it becomes possible to lock and unlock using the smart lock for thumb-turn system.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This specification relates to an adapter that converts the locking and unlocking method of a crescent lock to a thumb turn method. [Background technology]

[0002] A crescent lock is a key that is attached to the interior side of a sliding door and can be used to lock and unlock the operating lever. The smart lock for thumb turns is a unit that is installed on a door that is systemized with a control circuit and installation mechanism to lock and unlock the door lock's thumb turn.

[0003] Patent No. 7417330 Patent Publication No. 2018-28261 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The operating lever of a crescent lock has poor operability and visibility when locking and unlocking the key.

[0005] The operating lever of the crescent lock cannot be operated with a thumbturn smart lock, and the lock cannot be locked or unlocked using the thumbturn smart lock system. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The adapter is made up of a base 1 that is fixed to the frame of a sliding door to fix the relative position of the crescent lock and this adapter, a bearing provided on the base 1 that allows the thumb-turn shaped operating part to be rotated, and a rotational force transmission part 2 that has a part that transmits the rotational force to the operating lever of the crescent lock.

[0007] The rotational force transmission unit 2 is composed of a rotational transmission shaft 3 that is inserted into a bearing provided on the base 1, a thumb turn unit 4 that receives the rotational force by means of a thumb turn, a lever unit 5 that extends and transmits the rotational force to the position of the operating lever of the crescent lock, and a hook unit 6 that grasps the operating lever of the crescent lock.

[0008] The base 1 is fixed to the frame of a sliding door by using double-sided tape, adhesive, magnets, or screws.

[0009] The base 1 can be configured to be assembled from a base top part 7 and a base base part 8, so that the height of the adapter can be adjusted to match the height of the thumbturn lock in the Z-axis direction. The base top part 7 can be fixed to the base base part 8 by double-sided tape, adhesive, magnets, or screws.

[0010] The base 1 and the rotation transmitting shaft 3 may be inserted directly or via a bearing.

[0011] The thumb turn unit 4, which receives the rotational force by means of the rotational force transmission unit 2 and the thumb turn system, may be configured as a combination of a split thumb turn unit 9 and a split lever unit 10 for the purpose of adjusting the size of the thumb turn shape. The split thumb turn unit 9 and the split lever unit 10 are fixed together with double-sided tape, adhesive, or screws.

[0012] The lever portion 5, which extends and transmits the rotational force to the position of the operating lever of the crescent lock, and the hook portion 6, which grips the operating lever of the crescent lock, may be configured as a hook receiving portion 11 and an exchangeable hook portion 12, with the aim of making their length or size changeable according to the length or size of the operating lever of the crescent lock. The exchangeable hook portion 12 is configured to be able to slide and move relative to the hook receiving portion 11, and the hook receiving portion 11 and the exchangeable hook portion 12 are fixed with adhesive or screws.

[0013] To accommodate a crescent lock with reversed left and right sides, the mirror base 13 and mirror rotation force transmission portion 14 may be combined in a configuration with reversed left and right sides.

[0014] A screw receiving portion 15 may be provided for the purpose of screwing a smart lock for thumb turn to the base 1. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The locking and unlocking method of a crescent lock, which is independent of left / right orientation or size, can be converted to a thumb-turn type. Also, by installing a thumb-turn smart lock, it becomes possible to lock and unlock the crescent lock using the thumb-turn smart lock system. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
